Our new publication, flightPath, was not only a hit with the local
community, it won the Silver Paragon Award for community college
class schedules from the National Council for Marketing and Public
Relations (NCMPR). This organization is the leading professional
development organization exclusively serving two-year college
communicators with over 1600 members across the country.
NCMPR’s prestigious Paragon Awards recognize outstanding
achievement in communications at community and technical colleges.
It’s the only national competition of its kind that honors excellence
exclusively among marketing and PR professionals at two-year colleges.
As a NCMPR member, SCC Marketing and Public Relations Director
Karen Manning entered flightPath in the competition for class
schedules among colleges that have three or fewer employees in the
marketing department. She received the award on behalf of Sandhills at
the national conference in St. Louis.
In this our third issue, we are profiling the employees of the college
who keep our campus safe, the SCC Police Department. We are also
featuring the launch of our new brand and the new Flyer’s mascot. We
are highlighting our Human Services program, a professor who won
a world ice-sculpture competition and the new food service operator
at the college. And as always, our class schedules for Continuing
Education and a curriculum class list is included.

College & Career Readiness
Dwight Threet
He may have over 20 years of
law enforcement experience
investigating major crimes,
homicides, narcotics and working
as a patrolman, but Dwight
Threet, the director of Campus
Police at Sandhills, is mighty
scared of spiders.
Maybe it is his ‘realness’ that
makes him so easily approachable
and well-liked at the college. Most
call him by his first name and
he comfortably interacts with all
those he encounters.

Steppe, Rick Bickel, Dwight Threet, Cindy White, Dion Hice and Carroll Rickard.
Who Keeps Our
Campus Safe?
2 || flightPath || Summer Semester 2016
The team that makes up the
SCC Police Department.
Moving from a Security Department to The Police and Public Safety
Department in 2010, the campus Police are poised to provide a quick
response to incidents on campus and offer campus-specific services
not necessarily available from local policing organizations.
The college staffs its own professional police officers and is responsible
for campus safety and law enforcement.
Under North Carolina State Law, these officers possess full police
powers on all property owned or occupied by the college. The
department also operates under a written mutual aid agreement with
the Southern Pines Police Department, which gives each department
concurrent jurisdiction under special circumstances although primary
jurisdictional areas are routinely respected. Sandhills police officers
have direct radio contact with Moore County Communications.
The officers not only keep students and employees safe, they are
friends to those on campus. Whether it is helping a student jump-start
a dead battery, responding to calls for service, or teaching workshops
on safety, their presence is appreciated each and every day.
The feelings are mutual. “It’s like
having another family here at
Sandhills,” said Dwight. “I love
that I get to interact with the
Sandhills community, not just
as a law enforcement officer. I
really enjoy being invited into the
classrooms and speaking with the
students.”
In his spare time, Dwight likes to
work out, rehab old homes and
cheer on the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Rick Bickel
Coming to the college in 2012,
Rick Bickel has great pride in
his place of employment, which
he feels all who work here hold.
“We are all on the same team at
Sandhills,” he says. “We may be in
a variety of departments, but we
work together to make sure our
students’ experiences here are
special and safe. I wake up every
day proud to serve the college and
provide the safest and friendliest
environment for all who work and
attend here.”
Rick is certified in many
areas, a few of which are gang
intelligence, CIT, BLET, Alive@25,
pepper spray instruction,
narcotics intelligence, alert and
solo active shooter. He is an Alive
@ 25 and BLET instructor at the
college.
Rick enjoys fishing and rooting for
the Panthers, Tarheels, Hornets
and Flyers.
Joe Steppe
North Carolina is the perfect state
for those who love the mountains
as much as the beach –which
describes Joe Steppe. Hailing from
Old Fort, Joe began his career in
law enforcement in Wilmington.
He has 12 years of experience
and is a NRA certified instructor,
a Law Enforcement instructor,
a Crime Prevention Officer
and holds IPMBA Bike Officer
Certification and numerous other
law enforcement certifications.
Joe has worked at the college for
six years.
Dion Hice
Like most employees at Sandhills,
Dion Hice feels the college is a
special place to work. Last year,
a health issue kept him in the
hospital for over a month and his
coworkers from the college gave
him an unimaginable deal of love,
support and help. “People here
care about each other,” he says.
After 12 years in the Army with
three Middle East deployments,
Dion protects and serves at the
Sandhills Hoke Center. He has
only two classes remaining in
order to receive a master’s degree.
Dion is originally from Big Bear
City, California.
Carroll Rickard
After 15 years in law enforcement
with the Lee County Sheriffs
Department and the Spring
Lake Police Department, Carroll
Rickard joined the Sandhills
Police Department as a part-time
officer in 2008. He is originally
from Thomasville but has lived in
the Sandhills region for 43 years.
Feature
When he has a bit of free time,
Carroll enjoys hunting and fishing
with his son and grandson.
Cindy White
Pinecrest High graduate Cindy
White earned a bachelor’s degree
from UNC-P in Criminal Justice.
Cindy began her career in Law
Enforcement with Carthage
Police Department, joining the
Sandhills Police in 2015. Cindy
finds the atmosphere at the
college most appealing saying
that the faculty and staff go above
and beyond the norm to help
others.
Traveling, working out and
spending time with her family
and friends are ways Cindy enjoys
spending time when not on
campus.
The Sandhills Community College
Global Scholars Program
In a world that is continuously
shrinking and requiring
increasing interaction with
the global community,
Sandhills Community
College is pleased
to announce its
participation
in NC Global

faculty, staff, and high school students and their parents were among
those who participated in focus groups. The results from the research
yielded the basis for the new identity package launched by the college.
Learn. Engage. Belong.
The new SCC identifying tag-line is “Learn. Engage. Belong.”
• Learn We impact our students’ lives and improve our community
through learning. A Sandhills education enables our students to
achieve a good career, gain higher incomes, contribute back to their
community, and enjoy a better life with their family.
• Engage Sandhills has many opportunities for students and
community members to engage. Our outstanding gardens, worldrenowned lecturers, entertaining concerts and musicals, thrilling
Flyers athletic events, and our exceptional library allow for lifeenriching experiences.
• Belong Our community is part of the Sandhills family. Local
residents volunteer at the college. They tutor students. They give
tours of the gardens. They give financially to the college and
our students. They take classes. They refer family and friends to
Sandhills. They are members of our Alumni Association. People
have a sense of belonging to Sandhills Community College.
An Icon That Tells a Story
College Launches
New Brand Identity
Coinciding with the
50-year anniversary of
the ribbon-cutting of
the first buildings on
the Pinehurst campus,
Sandhills unveiled a new
branding identity.
For several years, Sandhills Community College administration and
marketing personnel explored the idea of a new brand in order to
better reflect the atmosphere and values found at the college and the
high esteem in which the college is held in the community.
A competitive analysis was completed and numerous focus groups
were carried out. Community patrons and leaders, students, alumni,
The new Sandhills Community College icon has five shapes resting on
a graphic bar, signifying the five core values and the college mission as
the foundation.
The negative or background space of the mark hints at a tree, reflecting
our lovely campus environment and the educational growth our
students experience.
The icon is in the shape of an arch, harking back to our community’s
historic significance and mirroring the 231 arches found on the campus
in the form of arched windows, passageways and doors.
The new brand’s color palette reflects the heritage of the athletic logo,
developed several years ago.
Brand Utilization
The brand was unveiled to the faculty and staff of the college in March
at a special presentation with a video, banner, and a cake and cupcakes
decorated with the logo. The video can be viewed on the college’s
YouTube channel at youtube.com/sandhillscc. The new identity will
now be utilized on all marketing and promotional materials.

Sandhills’ Human
Services Program –
It’s About Caring
The college catalog definition of the Sandhills Human Services
Technology program is that it “prepares students for entry-level
positions in institutions and agencies which provide social,
community and educational services.” On another level, the program
is much more than training people for a career. Here we allow two
graduates to “tell our story.” Their testimonies will give you true insight
as to how attending Sandhills can transform lives.

clearly
represent
the college’s
new tagline of “Learn. Engage.
Belong.”
“My program instructors, Patricia
Harris and Carol Hoffman are
amazing women,” Kamilah
raves. “They made learning fun,
entertaining, and they taught
with passion. Whenever they put
forth an assignment they taught
us to understand each and every
point about the assignment and
made learning personal. Not only
do I admire them as teachers, but
most of all, these are two women
are ultimate role-models.”
Kamilah has noble aspirations.
Even though she currently works
47-55 hours each week at the
Hoke County Department of
Social Services and manages
a home with two school-aged
children, her heart’s desire is
to open a residential treatment
center where she can help
unwanted or abused children and
Family is important to Kamilah,
and family is how she describes
Sandhills. “The faculty and staff
make students feel they are part
of a family,” she said. “ We are
not a number, but respected
as a person. Everyone cares
about the students, not just the
instructors. Those in the Financial
Aid Office, the Bookstore, the
Tutoring Center, the cafeteria…
they all make students feel a
sense of belonging. They go above
and beyond in their help to see
students succeed.
“Our instructors were never too
busy to help with assignments,
give directions and help as
advisors. But they were more than
that; they were parents, friends,
prayer partners… they were more
than what one can imagine. Class
time was never dull, they taught
beyond my expectation of the
program. They brought life into
the classroom and in some cases
with people, they gave them life.”
After completing one class required
for an associate degree, Kamilah
would like to earn a bachelor’s
degree and eventually a masters
degree in social work.

confidence she needed to excel
in her career and meet her
educational goals.
Tonia Locklear
Being a nontraditional
student
was a little
intimidating
for Tonia
Locklear. “I
kept asking myself ‘How in the
world am I going to compete
with the younger generation?’”
she said. “But my fears were
put to rest when I experienced
personalized attention from my
professors. They were dedicated
to my education.”
Tonia is currently a Mobile Crisis
Professional with Monarch. On a
typical day, she can be found out
in the community responding to
crisis calls throughout her four
county service area. She could
be in a home or doctor’s office,
a school or any place where
someone is in crisis and in need of
a mental health assessment.
Tonia never imagined she would
be pursing a master’s degree,
but in a few years she plans to
earn one in Social Work as she
continues to work in the mental
health field. She hopes to become
a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
Tonia felt she wasn’t just a
student, but part of something
bigger, a chance to be proactive
in her community. “In the Human
Services Club we participated in
food drives, the collection of coats
for the Sandhills Coalition for
Human Care, the annual Southern
Pines Christmas Parade and the
college’s Spring Fling. As a team
we collaborated and created a
motto and logo for the club, “I
Can’t, But WE Can!”
Summing up her Sandhills
experience Tonia said, “When I
returned to school I was in my
mid-thirties. I figured I was too
old to make a career change, but
I am so glad I chose Sandhills.
They set the tone for me to pursue
a bachelor’s degree in Social
Work and raise my standard of
living. I am forever thankful to my
professors – especially Professor
Harris – without her belief in me I
wouldn’t be where I am today.”
Being able to complete an
internship gave Tonia an excellent
opportunity that jump-started
her career. She reported that the

Many courses required for the Associate in Arts degree are taught
regularly at the Hoke Center. Students find greater success when
beginning in traditional classes or hybrid classes and moving to online
classes as they progress through the degree program.
Interactive Television System
Sandhills Hoke Center has recently added Interactive Television
System as a new instructional delivery format. This system allows an
interactive environment where an instructor provides instruction to
students at the Hoke Center and the Pinehurst campus simultaneously
by transmitting video and audio via a television system. The instructor
can see and communicate live with students in the classroom as well
as those in the remote location. The students in both locations can
interact in real time as well.
Sandhills Hoke Center will offer a number of curriculum classes
through the Interactive Television System beginning in the 2016 fall
semester.

The Sandhills Hoke Center boasts a computer lab for students to use
if taking courses requiring access to computers. Students can receive
help with the “how-to’s” of online coursework.
The Sandhills Hoke
Center Continues to
Expand Offerings
The Sandhills Hoke Center in Raeford is experiencing growth; due
largely to an increase in number of students interested in taking
classes at this location. One reason for the increased interest is due
to the expansion of programs students are able to complete at the
Sandhills Hoke Center.

SandHoke Early College High School
Beginning in 2006, 55 ninth-graders began an innovative and now
proven highly successful program. A tuition-free partnership between
Hoke County Schools and Sandhills Community College allows
students to earn a high school diploma and an associate’s degree in
five years. Students begin high school on the campus of the SCC Hoke
Center and after three years, begin taking classes on the campus in
Pinehurst.
The Criminal Justice Technology program is providing more learning
opportunities at the Hoke Center, which includes more hybrid and
traditional class offerings, thus enabling greater student success.
Sandhills has seen 228 students graduate from SandHoke. Currently
there are 107 students taking classes on the Hoke Center campus and
101 on the Pinehurst campus.
The Basic Law Enforcement Training (BLET) program is offered at
the Sandhills Hoke Center. It is a ten-month program with classes

curriculum credit for CJC 113, CJC 120, CJC 131, CJC 132, CJC 221 and
CJC 231 toward the Associate in Applied Science degree in Criminal
Justice Technology, if they have completed BLET since 1985.

Culinary Arts Professor
Wins in World Ice
Sculpture Competition
A Sandhills Community College Culinary Arts professor and his friend
turned a four-ton block of ice into a fourth place award in the 2016 BP
World Ice Art Championship held in Fairbanks, Alaska.
Competing against 50 teams from 17 countries, Chef Chris Currier
and Todd Dawson of Raleigh competed in the realistic category of
the Single Block Classic. “The competition was amazing with the
most talented artists from all over the world,” said Chef. “It was a true
blessing to place fourth and walk across the most prestigious stage in
the ice carving world.”
Chef Currier and Todd spent a great deal of time working on the design
prior to heading to Alaska, almost 10 months. Their goal was to design
something that displayed the beauty of the Alaskan wilderness while
showing movement and motion. Their work of art was entitled “Into
the Wind.”
In addition to his teaching responsibilities at Sandhills, Chef Currier
owns and operates CRC Iceworks. Photos of this work of art and many
more creations can be viewed on his Facebook page. Simply search for

Keys to a Smooth Process
Begin early. The earlier you begin
the application process, the more
likely your aid will be processed in
a timely manner.
• File your federal taxes as early
as possible.
• Allow yourself ample time
to request and receive all required additional forms.
All who teach
collge transfer
courses hold a
master’s degree
or higher.
Full-time tuition and fees at Sandhills is $1,907/2 semesters.

Some students may be asked
to complete verification, which
requires additional documentation
be provided to the SCC Financial Aid Office. Documents may
include tax return transcripts, child
support information and personal
identification. The process can take
additional time if outside agencies
are asked for information.
There are 225 arches on
the Sandhills campus in
Pinehurst.

The financial aid application
process may be lengthy, so it’s
important to begin early. Students
must complete the online Free
Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA) for colleges to determine eligibility. The form is
available each January and must
be completed annually. Deadlines
for the FAFSA form and required
documentation submission are set
each term: fall semester deadline is
in early July, spring semester, early
December and summer semester is
early May. Check the SCC website,
or call the SCC Financial Aid Office
for specific dates prior to each
semester.
By successfully
completing the C-Step
program, students are
guaranteed transfer to
UNC-CH as a junior.

“I have had the opportunity to take

career is for me,” Kayla said. She now
plans to continue at Sandhills and earn an
Associate Degree in Nursing and may even
go on to earn a bachelor’s degree.
When she is not busy studying or enjoying
typical high school Senior activities, Kayla
enjoys the outdoors, especially kayaking.

One of the best ways to launch into
a career earlier than most is to begin
taking college courses while still in high
school. “If a person has dedication and a
willingness to learn, they can do what I

Athletics
The Hangar is Now
the Home Gym for
The Flyers
The long-awaited Hangar is now the official home gym for The Flyers.
Opening in October with the Region X Women’s Volleyball Tournament
and dedicated in February at half-time during a game against CCCC,
the newly enlarged gym is now a hub of activity on the campus.
Banners were unfurled proclaiming the National Championships won
by the 2011-12 men’s basketball team and the 2014 men’s golf team.
The women’s volleyball team and men’s basketball will play home
games in the gym and it will also be used for physical education classes
and intramural sports.
Marty McFlyer Lands
in The Hangar
The women’s golf team joined players from Columbia, Harvard
and Princeton for Spring Training at Pinehurst #8 March 18-19.
The four teams hosted a panel discussion in the Dempsey Student
Center the evening prior to the start of the event.
Late in the basketball season, an
aviator emerged from the men’s
locker room into a packed gym.
Marty McFlyer, named through
a student and employee contest,
will now make appearances at
events, parades, athletic contests
and all sorts of special occasions.
Basketball Recap
The men’s basketball team added another successful season to the
books. Sandhills finished 19-11 bringing Coach Mike Apple’s five-year
record for the college to 121-42. Sophomore forward Tony Harper has
accepted a scholarship offer to finish his degree at Johnson C. Smith
University in Charlotte. Freshman guard Josh Smith earned First Team
Region X laurels.
The women’s golf team will participate in the national tournament
Daytona Beach May 16-19. Shown from left to right is: Heather Hancock,
Brianna Newton, Marty McFlyer, Brittany Elliott, and Sarah Phelan.
Since the reintroduction of an
athletic program at Sandhills,
the teams have been known as
‘The Flyers.’ But we have not had
an official mascot. Of course,
an aviator is the ultimate ‘flyer,’
and was an obvious choice to
represent a college located on
Airport Road and under the flight
path of jets and planes landing
and taking off from the Moore
County Airport.
An aviation-themed work of mixedmedia art was given to the college by
the faculty and staff in appreciation
and honor of President John Dempsey
on his 70th birthday. It hangs in the
lobby of The Hangar.

How to Protect Your
Finances and Prevent
Embezzlement
Most people who embezzle
funds insist they intended to
pay the money back and were
simply “borrowing” the funds
temporarily. An intent to pay back
embezzled funds is not a defense
to the crime of embezzlement.
One can only imagine how many
such schemes actually work
without anyone knowing. The
courts are not persuaded by the
claims of embezzlers that they
intended to fully pay back the
funds they misappropriated.
The crime is complete when
the embezzler misappropriates
the church’s funds to his or her
own personal use. This seminar
provides critical information on
how to prevent embezzlement by
looking at distinct areas such as:
• How does embezzlement
happen?
• Why does embezzlement
occur?
• How can you reduce the risk?
